Abstract

3 Key Reasons to Implement Buffered Local Anesthesia in Your Practice

Achieving effective and lasting local anesthesia is crucial for successful clinical practice. It allows the dental professional to perform dental procedures efficiently, enhance the patient experience, and improve overall outcomes. Buffering, which involves adding sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH of the anesthetic solution, can significantly improve anesthesia delivery. This presentation will explore why, when, and how clinicians should incorporate buffering, focusing on three key benefits: faster onset of anesthesia, reduced injection pain, and enhanced effectiveness.
